Important Questions on Polarization of Light by Scattering and Refraction
What are the types of optically active substances?
What are optically active crystals?
How is Nicol prism used as polarizer and analyzer?
How Nicol prism is prepared?
. In the Nicol Prism experiment, the calcite crystal length is x times its breadth. What is x?
What is Nicol prism used for?
In the O-ray is eliminated by _____
The working of Nicole prism is based on the phenomenon of _____
What are the types of optically active substances?
How Nicol prism can be used as a polarizer?
What is the limitations of Nicol prism?
In optics, a set of flat transparent plates mounted at some _____ to incident light. Such a pile is a simple polarization device. Natural light is therefore polarized when it passes through the pile; the component whose electric vector lies in the plane of incidence predominates.
Pile of plates can be used to produce completely polarised light
Explain how Pile of plates can be used to produce completely polarised light.
Assertion: On viewing the clear blue portion of the sky through a Calcite Crystal, the intensity of transmitted light varies as the crystal is rotated.
Reason: The light coming from the sky is polarized due to the scattering of sunlight by particles in the atmosphere. The scattering is largest for blue light.
Light transmitted by a Nicol prism is:
Discus about Nicol prism.
Mentioned the type of optically active crystals with example.
Discus about pile of plates.
Which of the following crystals are used to convert ordinary light to plane polarised light?
